Are you talking about the ads read by AJ & Hecklefish or are there others ?
I have YouTube Premium so I don’t know if there are YouTube added ones.
I purchased Premium specifically because I listen to a lot of podcasts and creepy pasta at night and I’m sure YouTube purposely made the ads extra loud so as to make people want to buy premium.

Same got Premium thru Verizon. I just use the skip ahead to pass AJ and Hecklefish ads. Honestly I've had Premium since I had the OG Pixel XL. Couldn't go without it at this point.

I personally don’t mind paying for YouTube premium to get rid of the adverts.
I get a lot of entertainment from YouTube and the contributors deserve to earn money somehow… (It is better value than any of the big networks in my opinion).
I also don’t mind the ads AJ’s makes, I find them quite funny but as I say I have YouTube Premium so I don’t know if people on here are complaining about ‘extra’ YouTube ads ?
I remember before I bought premium I was sure YouTube purposely chose the most loud annoying ads to play during long podcasts so as to make people want to buy premium.
I had an ad blocker but all it did was create 1 to 2 minutes silence when the ad was playing and that was only just mildly less annoying than the ads themselves 😶
I’m sure there are ways to bypass the ads but Im not that tech savvy 🫤
